I walk through this small park often on my way into Strasbourg’s city center.  The birds are always there eating bread tossed to them or searching for insects.  Parks and pigeons just go together.

Alsace has many community gardens offering city residents living in apartments with no yard a place of sanctuary.  These gardens provide fresh [...]

Place des Halles, a shopping mall in Strasbourg, was right behind me as I took this picture. The market was on the bridge that day in spite of the drizzling rain. At these type of markets you can find cheep clothes mostly. I don’t recommend buying anything from them as the quality [...]

The Magdeburg water bridge is located in Germany and it is Europe’s largest water bridge. I had never heard of it even though it was completed in 2003. I would love to see it one day.
The giant kilometer long Magdeburg Water Bridge, completed in October 2003, connects two important German shipping canals, the Elbe-Havel [...]

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, our family spent the weekend outdoors walking through the center of Strasbourg (Sunday) and along the Garden of Two Shores (Saturday). We crossed over the beautiful and impressive bridge by foot from France into Germany. Because, I am a terrible mother and blogger I forgot to bring [...]

While living in America, I had the pleasure of hearing all the French jokes I could stand. Keep in mind that I can take a joke as good as anyone else. The problem was that the jokes weren’t really jokes as in ha, ha, ha. The jokes were nasty and mean. [...]

To Germany we would go on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

The hope of Spring still lingers under the snow.

A real German castle. The towers had been rebuilt but the rest of the walls seemed original.
